SPARK PLUG. Recommended
spark plug is Champion DJ7Y or equiv-
alent for all models. Spark plug elec-
trode gap is 0.025 in. ( 0.6 mm) for all
models. Note that spark plug has a ta-
pered seat and does not require a gas-
ket. Tighten spark plug to 150 in.-lbs.
(17 N.m).
CARBURETOR AZamaClQM27
diaphragm type carburetor is used on
all models. Refer to CARBURETOR
SERVICE section for overhaul proce-
dures and exploded views of Zama car-
buretors.
Initial a4justment for both the low-
speed and high-speed mixture screws is
one turn open from a lightly seated po-
sition. Make final adjustment with en-
gine warm and running. Make certain
that the air cleaner is clean.
Adjust idle speed screw so engine
idles just below clutch engagement
speed. Adjust low-speed mixture screw
to obtain highest possible engine speed,
then turn screw out (counterclockwise)
1/8 to 1/4 turn. Engine should acceler-
ate cleanly without hesitation. If en-
gine stumbles or seems sluggish when
accelerating, adjust low-speed mixture
screw until engine accelerates cleanly.
Readjust idle speed screw if necessary
to obtain recommended idle speed of
2800-3300 rpm. Chain must not move
when engine is idling.
High-speed mixture screw should be
adjusted to obtain optimum perform-
ance with saw under cutting load. Do

too lean (turned too far clockwise) as
maximum permissible engine speed
may be exceeded and engine may be
damaged from lack of lubrication and
overheating. Maximum no-load speed
(with bar and chain installed) must not
exceed 11,000 rpm.
To remove c a r b u r e t o r (4—Fig.
MC130), remove the air filter cover (1)
and filter element. Remove the two
screws securing the filter base (3) and
carburetor. Remove the filter base and
carburetor, and disconnect fuel line and
throttle link. Tighten carburetor
mounting screws to 30-40 in.-lbs.
(3.4-4.5 N-m).
IGNITION. All engines are
equipped with an electronic ignition
system. The ignition coil and electronic
circuitry are contained in a one-piece
ignition module (10—Fig. MC130),
which is serviced as a unit assembly.
Air gap between the fiywheel mag-
nets and the laminated legs of the mod-
ule should be 0.010-0.015 in. (0.25-0.38
mm). Loosen ignition module mounting
screws and move module to obtain de-
sired air gap. If air gap is excessive, en-
gine may bie hard to start or may not
start.
LUBRICATION. The engine is lu-
bricated by oil mixed with the gasoline
fuel. Recommended fiiehoil ratio is 40:1
when using McCulloch 2-cycle oil. If
McCulloch oil is not used, a good grade
oil designed for use in air-cooled,
two-stroke engines should be mixed at

a 20:1 ratio. Do not use oil designed for
automotive use. Use a separate con-
tainer to mix the fuel and oil.
All models are equipped with an
automatic chain oiling system. Recom-
mended oil is McCulloch Chain, Bar
and Sprocket oil. Oil designed for auto-
motive use may also be used. Select oil
viscosity according to ambient tem-
perature.
REPAIRS
CRANKCASE PRESSURE TEST.
An improperly sealed crankcase can
cause the engine to be hard to start, run
rough, have low power and overheat.
Refer to ENGINE SERVICE section of
this manual for crankcase pressure test
procedure. If crankcase leakage is indi-
cated, pressurize the crankcase and use
a solution of soap and water to check
gasket, seals, pulse line and castings
for leakage.
PISTON, RINGS AND
CYLINDER. To remove the piston, it
is necessary to remove the powerhead
(12—Fig. MC131) and separate the cyl-
inder from the crankcase as follows:
Unbolt and remove chain brake hous-
ing (13—Fig. MC131), bar and chain.
Remove the air filter cover (10), fan
housing (24), fiiel tank (7) and oil tank
(20). Remove the ignition module, air
filter assembly, carburetor and muffler.
Remove spark plug and install a suit-
able piston stop tool or insert the end of
a rope in spark plug hole to prevent the
crankshaft from rotating. Note that fly-

plastic mallet to unseat the flywheel
(18—Fig. MC132) from crankshaft ta-
per. Remove the air shroud (19) and oil
pump (15). Remove clutch retaining
nut (33) and withdraw the clutch as-
sembly.
Remove screws attaching the crank-
case (27) to the cylinder (1), and sepa-
rate the crankcase from the cylinder.
Care should be taken not to damage the
mating surfaces of the crankcase and
cylinder. Remove the crankshaft (7),
connecting rod (8) and piston (3) as an
assembly from the cylinder. Remove re-
taining rings (5) and push piston pin (4)
from the piston. Be careful not to apply
side thrust to the connecting rod when
removing the piston pin.

rod and cap. Install connecting rod on
crankshaft making sure that match
marks on rod and cap are aligned. Con-
necting rod and cap are fractured and
serration must mate correctly. Tighten
connecting rod cap screws to 35-40
in.-lbs. (4.0-4.5 N-m).
CRANKSHAFT AND CRANK-
CASE. Crankshaft (7—Fig. MC132) is
supported in two caged needle roller
bearings (10). Refer to PISTON section
to remove crankshaft from engine. Re-
move the connecting rod cap and sepa-
rate the connecting rod and piston from
crankshaft.
Inspect crankshaft and bearings for
wear or damage. Note that crankcase
and cylinder have mated surfaces and
must be renewed as an assembly. Apply
a thin coat of sealer to mating surfaces
of crankcase and cylinder during as-
sembly. Tighten crankcase screws to
60-70 in.-lbs. (6.8-7.9 N-m). Make cer-
tain that the crankshaft rotates freely.
If not, disassemble and locate problem.
Tighten flywheel retaining nut to 180
in.-lbs. (20.3 N«m). Do not use impact
tools to tighten flywheel nut and do not
over-torque, otherwise flywheel hub
can be cracked and distorted.
CLUTCH. To remove the clutch, de-
tach chain brake housing (13—Fig.

chain brake operation, place saw on flat
surface and run at wide-open throttle.
Activate chain hand guard and chain
should stop moving immediately. Pull
hand guard rearward to disengage
brake. No adjustment of chain brake is
required. If brake fails to operate prop-
erly, disassemble and inspect for prob-
lem.
Tb disassemble chain brake, unbolt
and remove brake housing (8—Fig.
MC133) from saw. Engage the brake to
relieve spring tension. Remove brake
actuating lever (5) and carefully disen-
gage spring (6). Remove brake band (9)
from housing.
Inspect all components for evidence
of wear or damage and renew as neces-
sary. Brake band should be renewed if
any point is worn to a thickness of 0.020
inch (0.5 mm) or less.
When reassembling, lubricate pivot
points and latch engaging surface with
light coat of multipurpose grease.
REWIND STARTER, Tb disassem-
ble rewind starter, remove starter
housing (2—Fig. MC134) from fan
housing. Remove rope handle (1) and
allow rope and pulley to slowly rewind.
Remove pulley retaining screw (5) and
withdraw rope pulley (4). Care should
be taken when removing rewind spring
(3) not to allow spring to unwind uncon-
trolled.
Inspect starter pawls (16—Fig.
MC132) and springs (17) for wear or
damage and renew as necessary.
Rewind spring is contained in a case
(3—Fig. MC134). If spring becomes dis-
engaged from the case, it should be
wound into the case in a clockwise di-
rection from outer end. Starter rope
length is 50 inches (127 cm). Wind rope
on pulley in clockwise direction viewed
from flywheel side.
TD pre-tension rewind spring, com-
plete starter assembly and pass rope
through housing outlet. Install rope
handle, then pull a loop of rope back
through the outlet and engage rope in
notch of rope pulley. Rotate pulley one
tum clockwise with rope in notch. Re-
lease rope from notch in pulley. Rope
should be held snugly against the
starter housing.
Pull rope handle and check rewind
operation. With starter rope fully ex-
tended, it should be possible to turn
pulley at least an additional 1/2 tum
clockwise. Be sure excessive tension is
not placed on rewind spring, otherwise
spring may break when rope is pulled
to its fiill length. Repeat spring pre-
tension procedure until desired rewind
action is obtained.
